Cons:

Food Quality

• "The extra oily feeling that I got from my dishes was even more noticeable with the gnocchi."
• "Cacio e Pepe was saltless and too buttery, tasted like the boxed spaghetti with butter I ate as a kid. Overall, just okay..."
• "Pumpernickel pappardelle lacked evidence of duck visually or by taste."
• "The cacio e pepe was way over-salted."
